What type of wave is ultra-violet wave?

Ultraviolet (UV) waves are a type of electromagnetic wave with shorter wavelengths than visible light. They are invisible to the human eye but can cause sunburn and skin damage with prolonged exposure. UV waves are commonly used in sterilization and in tanning beds.


What is the wavelength of UV light in laminar air flow bench?

UV light iddivided in to three. UV-C wave length from 100nm to 280nm. UV-B 280nm to 315nm and UV-A 315nm to 400nm. The wave length of 254nm (UV-C) is giving maximum germicidal activity and it is not too irritating.


How is uv light different from light?

It is different because the UV light is brighter then a normal light and it is like a laser. UV light is different to normal light because it is invisible and the wave length is smaller.

Can UV lighting be seen or felt?

From what I know, UV rays stands for ultraviolet radiation. In nature UV lights can`t be seen, because they`re wave lengths are shorter than visible light. But special florescent light bulbs or black lights do give off long-wave UV radiation that is very close to the violet color of the visible spectrum. So it gives of a blackish/ very dark purplish color. You don`t really feel UV light unless you stay and the sun to long and get sun burnt. So all in all you can`t see UV lights or feel them, but you can see an stretched wavelengths of UV and the side effects of have to much UV light.
